Description
The Fisher Labs TW6 Crystal Controlled Frequency Pipe and Cable Locator is a 2-box locator, excellent for blind searches. Unlike other units that use a separate transmitter and receiver, the TW-6 when mounted on the handle, can conduct "blind" searches of an area to locate an underground pipe or cable when the starting point is unknown. Crystal controlled frequency in both transmitter and receiver increases tracing distance. VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) gives a wider range of audio signal to indicate the presence of metal. Even after the meter pegs, the audio signal goes much higher in pitch and volume. Noise canceling circuitry eliminates power line interference.
The TW6 offers conductive and inductive modes of tracing. Conductive tracing is the preferred method for tracing because the transmitter makes a direct physical hook-up with the line to be traced. Tracing distances are increased 25-50% over the inductive method. Inductive locating is preferred when the starting point is unknown or not compatible with conductive tracing.
